Can you make peach cheesecake salad in advance?

Absolutely! What you can do is to keep the creamy mixture tightly covered in the fridge.

Then, when you need to serve this, just prepare a fresh batch of the fruit slices. Fold them in just in time for the serving.

Can you use fresh or canned peaches?

You can use both. Just slice the pieces according to your needs and drain the juice very well. Any excess moisture may make the dessert runny.

The canned ones are preserved in syrup, so, its sugar content is higher than fresh ones. But if you are reluctant to use the canned version thinking they are less healthy, then, this study comparing fresh and canned peaches will help assure you.

In this study, the researchers concluded that canned ones are not better nor worse than fresh ones. Even the canned version retained most of the key nutrients and vitamins.

With that said, enjoy this dish all year round!

How to store it:

Keep this chilled so that it does not become runny. You can separately refrigerate the fruits and the creamy mixture. Then, simply combine when ready to serve.

Recipe Tips:

  • For added texture, you can add something crunchy like chopped walnuts or pecan nuts. Any other nuts are good, too; just make sure that they are not toasted with salt.
  • You can add variety by adding raspberry and marshmallows.
  • Watching your diet? Opt for low-fat cream cheese.
  • When using cream cheese, make sure that it is at room temperature. To ensure this, take it out of the refrigerator hours ahead before the preparation. This is to avoid a lumpy mixture.

This recipe is similar to the Cherry Fluff. It uses Cherry Pie filling. I will try using Peach Pie filling and the French Vanilla instant pudding. Always glad to find a Fluff recipe that my family will love. Thanks for sharing. **
